For the French aristocrat in all of us, this rough-cut, crown-emerald of a race sweeps participants through a mystical journey, back to a time, when the estate might have resembled an 15th century countryside plantation, complete with a game-stocked forest, working vineyards, and a cold mountain river rushing by. Racers on this day will be lords of the land they claim under fast plowing feet & spokes.
The Asheville off-road series of multi-sport events at Biltmore Estate consists of 3 main events, each come with various privileges for participation. All three of the off-road events in September are entirely on the historic grounds of the Biltmore Estate property. The Asheville Duathlon and Gravel Grinder events both get to explore the west side of Biltmore Estate, which is typically off-limits to guests. Join endurance athletes of all abilities and step to the start line, hearts booming in anticipation, to challenge mind and body while competing in the Annual Multi-Sport event series held at Biltmore Estate.
The Asheville Duathlon
The Asheville Duathlon is a 5k road run, 13.25 mile off-road bike, and a final 5k packed dirt off-road run. The off-road bike is non-technical riding on the west side of the estate, which is typically off-limits to regular guests at the estate. Individual participants or 2 or 3 person relay teams available. Kids can join in on the fun also! We recommend a relay team option. The bike rider must be at least 10 years old for any relay team.
The Gravel Grinders
The Asheville Gravel Grinder Bike Events come packed with something for every type of rider, a 20, 40 or 60 mile option. Whether you are a seasoned athlete, a weekend warrior or scenery seeking rider, these events are for you! The Gravel Grinder Bike races are the only bike events at the estate that allows the participant to access the front of Biltmore House on their bike.
10k Off-Road Run
The Asheville 10k Run at Biltmore features a newly designed, off-road 10k, featuring some paved, packed dirt and trail that takes the runner to a marvelous adventure with new views of the Biltmore House.

Low Cost Rabies Clinic
Join Asheville School for a dance technique and repertory workshop with NC Dance Festival Touring Artists Kristen Taylor Duncan and Megan Mazarick. Open to students in 8th – 12th grade.
The NC Dance Festival is an annual festival produced by the Dance Project that aims to support the creation of new choreography and the presentation of high-quality repertory, build and strengthen relationships between dance artists within North Carolina and provide access to and education about modern and contemporary dance to audiences and students. The festival presents work by some of the best modern dance choreographers in the state. This year, the festival has performances in Asheville, Durham, Charlotte and Greensboro.
In conjunction with the NC Dance Festival Asheville performances, the Asheville School Fine Arts Program will host “Moving with Makers,” a dance technique and repertory workshop featuring two NC Dance Festival artists on Saturday, September 29, from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. for area students in eighth through twelfth grades. The workshop will take place in the Walker Arts Center’s Graham Theater on Asheville School’s campus.
Students are invited to join NC Dance Festival artists Kristin Taylor Duncan and Megan Mazarick for an afternoon of movement. Students will have the opportunity to participate in a technique class and learn selected repertory while gathering insight into the artists’ choreographic approaches.
This class pairs with the NC Dance Festival’s opening show, which will take place at the BeBe Theater in Asheville on Friday, September 28. The show will feature the work of four NC Dance Festival artists, including Duncan and Mazarick. By pairing the workshop with the evening performances, students will gain a deeper perspective into the world of working artists.
For more information or to sign up for “Moving with Makers,” contact Asheville School Chair of Fine Arts Kathy Leiner at [email protected] or 828-215-2410. Workshop tickets are $5 or free with the purchase of tickets to the NC Dance Festival in Asheville: Bebe Theater.
